Despite the popularity of the analogue measuring devices, there is no recognized reference provided comprehensive guidelines for determining their resolution and its associated uncertainty. For filling this gap, this article is introduced as an attempt to explore and investigate all the available works related to this issue. The new terminology “evident space”, “evident resolution”, and “conjunction” were proposed to set a common reference. Two different techniques for determining the analogue resolution were presented and discussed. Several numerical examples were also presented to show different analogue indications and their interpretations. Moreover, reasonable recommendations for determining the resolution uncertainty were suggested depending on the case.

尽管模拟测量设备非常流行，但尚无公认的参考文献提供了确定其分辨率及其相关不确定性的全面指南。为了填补这一空白，本文旨在尝试探索和调查与该问题相关的所有可用作品。提出了新的术语“视空间”，“视分辨率”和“合取”以作为共同的参考。提出并讨论了两种不同的确定模拟分辨率的技术。还提供了几个数字示例，以显示不同的模拟表示及其解释。此外，根据情况还提出了确定分辨率不确定度的合理建议。
